More Information
Summary:A toner for developing an electrostatic latent image, a process for producing the same and a process for forming an image using the same are provided. The toner is produced by a simple production process, with good reproducibility, particularly in particle size and particle size distribution. The toner is excellent in production stability, with a wide fixing region, and is also excellent in low temperature fixing property, production stability, storage stability of resin particles formed by the aggregation process, and charging property, particularly environmental stability and time-lapse stability. The toner for developing an electrostatic latent image contains a crystalline resin having a melting point as a binder resin, and at least one of an ester compound having an alkyl group having from 6 to 32 carbon atoms and a resin having a contact angle with water that is smaller than that of the crystalline resin.
